Over the past few weeks, I’ve been wearing some version of this outfit on repeat, as I find it’s a simple, but sophisticated look that can take me to any number of places and situations. For everyday life, I love to dress in a way that’s elevated but still and comfortable and below, I’ve broken down my secrets to easy sophistication!

Jumpsuits and boilersuits are back in a big way this year. I’ve yet to dip my toe into the latter, but I’m all about a jumpsuit and this one is pretty well perfect. I initially was going to choose this style in black, but ended up choosing the bright pink instead. And you know what? Jumpsuit on = mood lifted.

January can be a bit of a dreary and drab month. All the Christmas decorations are put away, the weather is generally gloomy and there are no holidays to get excited about. So when February arrives, I’m ready to throw myself into the new month and get decked out in some color—namely red!

How to Style A Little White Dress…or at least how I like to style one, and for me, it’s all about a classic color combination for a classic look.

When you hear ‘little white dress’ you might be reminded of a bridal shower or engagement party, but I think there’s so much more to this garment. Like a blank canvas, it can be turned into anything and be fit for any occasion, really, depending on on what you choose to add to it.

The addition of a few black, white and gold accessories turns this into a timeless look that’ll take you plenty of places.

Resolutions, love them or hate them, are something that always come around in January. I think they’re a nice reminder to take stock and I love sharing these on the blog as it’s a snapshot of what was important to me at a particular time. Revisiting these posts is like opening a time capsule and they’re so interesting to reflect back on.

Here are my 2019 resolutions, plus a little look back at the past twelve months too:

I may be biased, but I think no other city does Christmas quite like London. Everywhere you turn in the capitol is dressed up—from grand hotel facades to townhouse front doors. When you stumble upon some of these spots, you can’t help but smile and get excited for the coming season.

Yes, it can be stressful and hectic, but Christmas in London might also just be the most wonderful time of year.

Despite the fact that I take public transport regularly, have a tendency to spill coffee and have two black cats, this white coat has become a staple of my winter wardrobe this year. Against all odds, it’s even managed to stay clean. And I’ve even worn it on board four flights—really!

I really like white coat plus a few sparkly accessories as a different take on festive dressing, and this outfit is a shining example!

I come from a family of people who love to travel (myself included) and I’m lucky to have been to a fair amount of places. But I’m the only person who had still never been to Germany (save for a layover in an airport, but that doesn’t count). I felt a bit like I was missing out, so when Supal asked if I’d like to join her on a trip to Stuttgart, my answer was of course a firm ‘yes!’.

It was a whirlwind trip to say the least. From the moment we landed until the moment we took off back to London, our days were packed. From medieval towns to the most modern library you’ve ever seen, plus plenty of Christmas market charm, here’s what we got up to in Southwest Germany:

Want to know a secret? Despite working with blooms and sharing photos of flowers on my feed, I almost never have them in the house! And if I do, they’re usually behind a closed door rather than proudly on display.

I blame our two mischievous cats who’ll chew on anything new that enters our home. So despite loving flowers, I really prefer my blooms on my sleeves. So of course I fell for this stunning dress:
